The Fingering Logic and Performing of Woodwind Instruments by Peter Ninaus Pdf

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2011 in the subject Musicology, grade: 1, language: English, abstract: The fingering logic and performing of woodwind instruments. A psychological study and model. Since there is no empirical research about woodwind-playing, this work shows a way, for example, to calculate "Fear Parts", and how you can circumvent them, or how you can find the best aesthetic fingering sequences. The analysis of explorative tests showed a correlation between subjective difficulty and the number of fingers in use or the change and the resulting number of finger movements. In order to explain this situation, I use a fingering table, where "0" represents open or keys not pressed, and in "1" closed or pressed keys (Conjunctors). With this table, it was possible for me to handle images as vectors and represent them together with their transformations to make a comparison. With the vector sum, I had the opportunity to compare the subjective results with the calculated values. The relationship between subjective perception and calculated level of difficulty was given. These results make it possible to create a forecast model of optimal fingering sequences for musicians, teachers and composers, without knowing about the playing of a clarinet. These calculations also enable the Aesthetic Analysis of pieces, if the fingering table is expanded with aural criteria. Passages of pieces could be transcribed to other instruments, and be reviewed on their playability, when a sound situation requires this. This is a crude tool and should be extended to acoustically-physical and aesthetic parameters, to make further developments of the clarinets (Vienna clarinet and French clarinet). The aim of further development of wind instruments should be: Optimizing and expanding sound and fingering techniques appearances. Advantages of the fingering of each clarinet system should be usable on other instruments and, apart from the bore of the systems, universal.

The Woodwinds: Perform, Understand, Teach by James Byo Pdf

The Woodwinds: Perform, Understand, Teach provides comprehensive coverage about the woodwind family of musical instruments for prospective instrumental music teachers. What sets this book apart is its focus on how to teach the instruments. Preparing students in the how of teaching is the ultimate goal of the woodwind class and the ultimate goal of this book, which organizes information by its use in teaching beginning instrumentalists. In developing performance and understanding, pre-service teachers are positioned to learn to teach through performance—contrasted with an "old-school" belief that one must first spend much time tediously trying to understand how things work before playing the instruments. The book is organized in three parts: Preliminaries, Teaching the Instruments, and Foundations. Chapters in Teaching the Instruments are organized by instrument (flute, clarinet, saxophone, oboe, bassoon) and, within each instrument, according to how an effective teacher might organize experiences for novice learners. Basic embouchure and air stream are covered first, followed by instrument assembly, then hands and holding. Embouchure coverage returns in greater depth, then articulation, and finally "the mechanism," which includes sections on the instruments of the family, transposition, range, special fingerings, tuning and intonation, and reeds. In Foundations, topics are situated in big picture contexts, calling attention to the broad applicability of information across instruments.

Woodwind Basics by Bret Pimentel Pdf

Woodwind Basics: Core concepts for playing and teaching flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and saxophone is a fresh, no-nonsense approach to woodwind technique. It outlines the principles common to playing all of the woodwind instruments, and explains their application to each one.The ideas in this book are critical for woodwind players at all levels, and have been battle-tested in university woodwind methods courses, private studios, and school band halls. Fundamental questions answered with newfound clarity include:- What should I listen for in good woodwind playing?- Why is breath support so important, and how do I do and teach it?- What is voicing? How does it relate to ideas like air speed, air temperature, and vowel shapes?- What things does an embouchure need to accomplish?- How can I (or my students) play better in tune?- What role does the tongue really play in articulation?- Which alternate fingering should I choose in a given situation?- How do I select the best reeds, mouthpieces, and instruments?- How should a beginner choose which instrument is the best fit?Woodwind Basics by Bret Pimentel is the new go-to reference for woodwind players and teachers.

The Art of Saxophone Playing by Larry Teal Pdf

According to Larry Teal, the best method of learning to play the saxophone is to study with a competent teacher. Teal's studies were mostly of instruments other than the saxophone, but as a student at a Chautauqua summer session, he came under the influence of Georges Barrère, the eminent French flutist. He played bass clarinet with the Detroit Symphony, but he continued to be absorbed by the saxophone. As a result of his acquired expertise and growing reputation, he was appointed to a full-time faculty position as a saxophone teacher by the University of Michigan -- the first ever to receive such an appointment from a major university. During his 21-year tenure, he attracted students from all over, thus exerting an ever widening influence on saxophone teaching and performing.

New Directions for Clarinet by Phillip Rehfeldt Pdf

The purpose of this work has been to deal with clarinet performance as it has evolved in the literature since approximately 1950: to identify or "catalogue" the practices now prevalent which differ from those formerly standardized; to provide some perspective on specific performance capabilities and limitations; and, whenever appropriate, to include suggestions for performance based on the author's own experience. It is intended as a guidebook for composers as well as a manual to which clarinettists might refer in working out various problems associated with new music performance. --pref.

The Development of Woodwind Fingering Systems in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries by Jerry L. Voorhees Pdf

The purpose of this book is to describe, illustrate and classify as many as possible of the fingering systems found on woodwind instruments dating from approximately 1831 to the present, and to analyze and compare these mechanisms with regard to their similarities and differences, strengths and weaknesses. Much has been written over the past half-century about the development of the individual woodwind types, but to my knowledge this is the first serious attempt to compare and classify woodwind fingering systems on the basis of their structure and operation rather than their association with a particular instrument, period, builder, or performer. It is also the first attempt to provide a more-or-less complete set of diagrammatic illustrations of existing woodwind mechanisms. The procedure which I have followed, beyond acquiring a basic grasp of woodwind history, is to study the instruments themselves in museums and private collections whenever possible. I also had recourse to illustrations, books, and pamphlets, as well as conversations with contemporary experts and builders. - Introduction.
